What it actually means is that the client (you being the host) has acknowledged your request to reset the connection. However, if you check your entire TCP stream you will find that you have NOT sent out a RST packet. Meaning Streamyx screwed you.

The problem with your results is that any part in the path between you and 75.158.91.220 could have spoofed the RST, not just TMNet. You need to come up with a more solid experiment that isolates these 3rd parties from being a possible factor.

Don't bother, it'll just fall unto deaf ears looking for blood. Over eagerness and hastiness to prove something are trademarks of this sub forum.

Well if someone other than Streamyx is spoofing them, I'd get RST packets from sources between Streamyx and 75.158.91.220 only (i.e. any relay servers connecting the 2 points). However, I get them on different channels, which does suggest someone much closer to home is spoofing the RST.

Nice catch though smile.gif

What do you mean by "channels"? TCP/IP has no notion of that.

The source IP in IP packets is very spoofable (not just in theory, in practice too) due to the design of IP. Plain TCP/IP while it adds some protection from blind spoofing cannot prevent these man-in-the-middle RST spoofs. Now, if you can believe that TMNet is able to spoof a RST packet from you to 75.158.91.220, then by transitivity you will also accept that any party in between (including 75.158.91.220's ISP) is also able to.

wait, just out of curiosity, would complaning to MCMC about bandwidth shaping eventually lead to the hard pushing for copyright infringement control ?

Don't see why. It's none of their business.
